ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Use a properly grounded three-prong outlet to reduce the hazard of
electrical shock.
The slicer should be placed close enough to the electrical power supply
so that an extension cord will not be needed. It is designed to be used
on 115 Volt, A.C., 60 Hz power source, as indicated on the Data Plate
affixed to the back of the unit. Be sure that the voltage is the same
before plugging the slicer into the outlet. To operate the unit on other
voltages, the slicer must be returned to the factory for modification.
All electrical connections must be made in compliance with all
applicable local electrical codes, as well as the latest edition of the
National Electrical Code (NFPA 70).
